Several boxes full of ballots for this week’s Italian general election were found in Rome today, officials said, after Premier Silvio Berlusconi rejected the centre-left’s victory claim and demanded a recount.
The boxes, at least five, carried the symbol of the Interior Ministry.
They included electoral material and were found by someone in a rubbish bin, said Vincenzo Giulivo, head of the polling station.
The ANSA news agency said the ballots had been filled out.
The election on Sunday and Monday was one of the closest in Italian history.
Romano Prodi’s centre-left opposition has won control of both houses of parliament, but Berlusconi has refused to concede defeat and demanded a vote recount.

Did they have some Muslims running the polls? They are taking credit for the election of the Leftist who "won".

Regardless of which side this comes from, it is evidence of vote fraud.
Either cast ballots were thrown out before the counting or stuffed ballots were created to be "discovered" after the election.

This is why the Dems love paper ballots. They can crank out the necessary votes while watching Springer and Oprah.

The paper ballots in Florida have serial numbers that can be traced to the precinct and to the worker that handed tham out and to the time they were handed out.
It's not just a paper ballot. It's an auditable document.

We knew that would happen. We know who the terrorists would vote for.

I suppose "consultants" from Philadelphia and Milwaukee have been sent over there to advise the Prodi supporters.
